JJGK Aero

JJGK Aero is a helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul center in Istres, in southern France. The site says it is located at the Pôle Aéronautique in Istres, near Marseille airport. It was founded by aviation professionals with extensive global experience in the industry. The site describes it as an all in one MRO center.

JJGK Aero offers a full range of services for the helicopters entrusted to it. Maintenance covers routine inspections, complex repairs and major visits, and the team says it can respond to all types of maintenance. Dismantling work on H225 helicopters is also shown on the site.

The Mercure Hangar is a historic building with large dimensions. The site says its facility covers 12,000 square meters and offers capacity for 14 slots. The hangar has a double overhead crane. Its position on the aeronautical hub of Istres gives direct access to the BA 125 runway.

Storage is offered for short or long periods. The storage site is monitored 24 hours a day. Maintenance work is carried out during storage so the helicopter stays in perfect condition until its owner collects it.

The painting team includes painters and sealers. The paint and preparation booths can accommodate an H225. The company holds Airbus special process qualification for painting. Work ranges from minor touch ups to complete painting.

JJGK Aero manages continuing airworthiness for helicopters in line with regulations, with a focus on safety, traceability and operational performance. Its agreements include EASA Part 145 and EMAR FR 145, CAY AMO, FAA approval, 2 REG 145, and CAMO approvals including FR CAMO and CAY CAMO. The company also offers MCF and ferry flights with experienced pilots.

About fifty people work at the site in mechanics, painting, boilermaking and administration. JJGK Aero works with local partners. Its news includes a painting course with a local school and a visit to the 2023 SIAE aviation show.
